Erik Gudbranson To Sit Out Thursday's Preseason Game
1 month agoColumbus Blue Jackets defenseman Erik Gudbranson (lower body) is set to miss a second consecutive preseason game on Thursday versus Pittsburgh. It's been reported that Gudbranson is dealing with a "minor" lower-body injury, so he could still be fine for the start of the regular season. Gudbranson will begin his third campaign in Columbus. The 32-year-old had a career year offensively last season with 26 points (six goals, 20 assists) in 78 games. A repeat of it looks highly unlikely, as Gudbranson hadn't previously even hit the 20-point plateau in 10-plus years in the league. However, fantasy managers can expect plenty of blocks and hits from Gudbranson.
